22' Tripp Boat

I've always been a big fan of the 22' Tripp Boat. Years ago, they were very popular as a bay scallop boat. There were several of them in the fleet. I remember Karsten Reinemo owned one as well as Jimmy Garnett, Peter Eldridge and Henry Wasierski. Howie Whelden still fishes out of one now.

I spotted one out at Madaket Marine the other day. She used to belong to Wiggles Coffin. She has been beautifully restored by her current owner. New deck, paint, etc. Here's a picture of her. Click on the picture for a larger view-

About Me

I was born and raised on Nantucket. I cannot remember a day when I did not go down to the waterfront to see what was going on. My very first boat was an old mortar box that I would row with a piece of wood! I currently dredge for bay scallops during the winter months. This season was my 30th year scalloping. I also run my own product application business and home caretaking business.
